Which prophet used a story about a stolen lamb to confront King David, ultimately leading David to confess his wrongdoing?

Correct Answer

B) Nathan

In 2 Samuel 12, the prophet Nathan courageously confronted King David by sharing a parable of a rich man who took a poor man’s only lamb. David, outraged by the injustice, declared that the man deserved punishment—only for Nathan to reveal that the story represented David’s own actions. This powerful moment led David to confess and repent. Nathan’s use of truth and accountability aligns with the message of Proverbs 12:19, showing that honesty ultimately brings freedom, while deceit is fleeting and often exposed.
